    Thanks, I see that now, but why no mention of that

    errata (RHBA-2018:1383) on the SL 7 GCC errata page ?

    And why wasn't it sent to the errata mailing list ?

    Please try to ensure updates are not released without

    errata documentation in future.

    Thanks & Best Regards,

    Jason
